  • The Price of Lasting Peace: a Two-Pronged Analysis of the Development Causes of Political Violence in the Bangsamoro Conflict
    The Price of Lasting Peace: A Two-Pronged Analysis of the Development Causes of Political Violence in the Bangsamoro Conflict A thesis submitted to the Auckland University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Social Sciences authored by Segfrey Dayao Gonzales under the supervision of Dr Kate Nicholls and Dr Erik Landhuis School of Social Sciences and Public Policy Auckland University of Technology May 2017 Abstract Like other developing nations, the Philippines has a long history of internal strife, especially in Mindanao where the Bangsamoro (Moro Nation) separatist struggle has extracted immense human and economic costs over the past five decades. Social science can offer a rich empirical understanding of the causes of these continued outbreaks of political violence in order to better inform policy responses and preventive measures. This thesis examines the Bangsamoro conflict in terms of its relationship with economic development. Drawing on the grievance perspective derived from the cross-country civil war literature, it posits that political violence occurs disproportionately in areas with low levels of economic development. This overarching hypothesis is then tested using multidimensional indicators of development to include measures of social and material well-being and effective governance and service delivery. It then conducts a two-pronged analysis of the causes of conflict. Factors associated with the incidence of political violence, operationally defined as armed clashes between government troops and rebel groups, are first examined using statistical analysis. Specifically, it applies regression analysis to the 2011-2015 Bangsamoro Conflict Monitoring System (BCMS) dataset to identify correlates of the incidence of political violence in municipalities of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), the epicentre of the Moro insurgency.

Existing Conditions of Flood and Disaster Management in Bangsamoro CHAPTER 5 EXISTING CONDITIONS OF FLOOD AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT IN BANGSAMORO 5.1 Floods and Other Disasters in Bangsamoro 5.1.1 Floods (1) Disaster reports of OCD-ARMM The Office of Civil Defense (OCD)-ARMM prepares disaster reports for every disaster event, and submits them to the OCD Central Office. However, historic statistic data have not been compiled yet as only in 2013 the report template was drafted by the OCD Central Office. OCD-ARMM started to prepare disaster reports of the main land provinces in 2014, following the draft template. Its satellite office in Zamboanga prepares disaster reports of the island provinces and submits them directly to the Central Office. Table 5.1 is a summary of the disaster reports for three flood events in 2014. Unfortunately, there is no disaster event record of the island provinces in the reports for the reason mentioned above. According to staff of OCD-ARMM, main disasters in the Region are flood and landslide, and the two mainland provinces, Maguindanao and Lanao Del Sur are more susceptible to disasters than the three island provinces, Sulu, Balisan and Tawi-Tawi.

    Nations Unies A/HRC/32/35/Add.3 Assemblée générale Distr. générale 5 avril 2016 Français Original : anglais Conseil des droits de l’homme Trente-deuxième session Point 3 de l’ordre du jour Promotion et protection de tous les droits de l’homme, civils, politiques, économiques, sociaux et culturels, y compris le droit au développement Rapport du Rapporteur spécial sur les droits de l’homme des personnes déplacées dans leur propre pays concernant sa mission aux Philippines Note du secrétariat Le secrétariat a l’honneur de communiquer au Conseil des droits de l’homme le rapport du Rapporteur spécial sur les droits de l’homme des personnes déplacées dans leur propre pays, M. Chaloka Beyani, concernant sa mission aux Philippines, qui s’est déroulée du 21 au 31 juillet 2015. Le typhon Haiyan, connu localement sous le nom de « Yolanda », s’est abattu sur la terre en novembre 2013, tuant des milliers de personnes et faisant fuir plus de quatre millions d’habitants. Il convient de saluer les mesures de reconstruction prises par le Gouvernement à ce jour ainsi que sa réaction initiale aux défis posés par les déplacements massifs à l’intérieur du pays. Étant donné l’étendue des dégâts, des progrès significatifs ont été accomplis pour offrir des logements provisoires ou permanents et pour reconstruire les infrastructures. Sachant que les Philippines se trouvent en première ligne face aux événements extrêmes liés aux changements climatiques, des politiques comprenant des mesures progressives ont pour objet d’atténuer les effets d’éventuelles catastrophes futures. Il faudra du temps au pays pour se remettre pleinement d’une catastrophe d’une telle ampleur.
